     Stop wasting your time thinking of reasons for your failures and shortcomings.Instead,  realize that the
seeds of success were planted within you when you were born.Only you have the power to make those
seeds grow.
     The seeds and the power to grow them are contained in the human mind.Success is a choice but not a
chance.You can be a success if only you make the right choice.
     You cannot be successful without first developing yourselfesteem (自尊). Your level of selfesteem is
always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself,  and thus over your life.People with low selfesteem do not believe that they have any power,  or responsibility for their lives.They
are leaves tossed (摇摆) by the winds of chance brought about with any sudden change in the weather.
     You can exercise control over your life only to the degree that you believe that you are responsible for whatever happens in your life.Failures think that everything happens by accident while successful people
realize that they are responsible.
     Everything happens as a result of something.If we can identify the cause,  we can control the effect.We are responsible for what we consciously choose to accept and believe.Thoughts and beliefs cause
everything.Our attitudes and actions are a result of habits ingrained in us over a period of time.One
generally rises to the level that one expects.We are responsible for setting our expectations.Our success
depends upon our level of confidence.We are responsible for either reinforcing good habits or kicking
bad habits and consciously replacing them with consistently practiced good habits.
     If you associate with positivethinking people,  you are definitely going to achieve success.On the
contrary,  the opposite happens.We are responsible for finding,  planting,  and nurturing (培育) the seeds
that contain future victory,  born from setbacks.
     In short,  in all areas of your life,  whether they are financial,  physical,  emotional,  or spiritual,  you are responsible.Once you recognize this,  accept it,  and firmly believe it,  you are on the road to success.

阅读下列短文，然后从各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项，并将该答案写在答卷上。

To most of us, school means classes, teachers, schedules, grades and tests. But for the children at Sudbury Valley School in Massachusetts, school is very different.

Firstly, there are no lessons. All the children, aged between 4 and 19, do whatever they want. There are no teachers, only “staff members”. The idea behind this is that you do not need to make children learn, because children want to learn anyway. “You do not need to say to a three-year-old, ‘Go explore your environment.’ You can’t stop them!” says Daniel Greenberg, a founder of the school. “But if you make children do what you want all day… they will lose all taste of learning.” At Sudbury Valley School, you will find children talking, reading, painting, cooking, working on computers, studying French, playing the piano, climbing trees, or just running around.Two boys spent three years just fishing!

The other way that Sudbury Valley School is different is that the children can decide the rules. Every week, there is a school meeting where both children and staff have one vote each—even the four-year-olds. They decide the school rules, how to spend the school budget (预算，经费), and even which staff they want and do not want anymore.

When the school first opened in 1968, people said it would never work. But today, the school has 200 students, and 80% of its students go on to college. Even the two boys who went fishing all the time have successful careers today. One of them is a musician and the other is a computer scientist.

58 What does Daniel Greenberg say about three-year-olds?

A. They love learning.

B. They are very naughty.

C. They want to be outside all the time.

D. They are too young to learn anything.

The blue tits(山雀) have been inspecting the nest-box again this year. The male is the house-hunter but the female will make the final choice. He lands at the hole and turns his head to expose his white cheeks as a signal to attract the female from where she has been feeding.

Among many birds that nest in holes, the male has a light-coloured patch on its plumage(鸟羽) which acts as signal for drawing the female’s attention to a suitable nesting-place. Unlike the blue tit, the redstart(红尾鸲) may be only the male that strikingly coloured and the female is not beautiful.

A few years ago I was lucky enough to spot a pair of redstarts in action in a Walsh wood. The male was leading an interested female to holes that he had previously(先前) checked out. He sat at the entrance of each hole and put his head on to show off his white forehead, or his head in to reveal(显露) his tail.

If the female failed to react to his visual signals, the male sometimes sang for extra effect, while gliding towards her on spread wings and tail. Once the female accepts by following the male through the hole the displays stop, you must be at the right place at the right time to watch them.

36. How do the blue tits choose their nest?

A. They choose their nest together.

B. The male chooses their nest.

C. The house-hunter chooses their nest.

D. The female chooses their nest.

37. The writer was lucky to see ________.

A. how the male made his tricks

B. how an interested female played with the male happily

C. what the male displayed and won the female

D. that the male tried his best but failed to attract the female

38. You can spot a pair of redstarts in a Walsh wood ________.

A. at any time B. regularly C. in April D. occasionally

39. The writer is probably ________.

A. a bird expert B. a bird-hunter C. a bird raiser D. a scientist

     When I first got an email account ten years ago, I received communications only from family, friends,
and colleagues.Now it seems that every time I check my email, I have an endless series of advertisements and other correspondence that do not interest me at all.If we want email to continue to be useful,we need
specific laws that make spamming(发送垃圾邮件) a crime.
   If lawmakers do not do something soon to prohibit spam, the problem will certainly get much worse.
Computer programs allow spammers to send hundreds of millions of emails  almost instantly.As more
and more advertisers turn to spam to sell their products, individual (个人的) email boxes are often
flooded with spam emails.Would people continue to use email if they had to deal with an annoying amount of spam each time?
   This problem is troubling for individuals and companies as well.Many spam emails contain computer
viruses that can shut down the entire network of a company.Companies rely on email for their employees
to communicate with each other.Spam frequently causes failures in their local communications networks,
and their employees are thus unable to communicate effectively.Such a situation results in a loss of
productivity and requires companies to repeatedly repair their networks.These computer problems raise
production costs of companies, which are, in the end, passed on to the consumer.
   For these reasons,I believe that lawmakers need to legislate(立法) against spam.Spammers should be
fined,and perhaps sent to prison if they continue to disturb people.Email is a tool which helps people all
over the world to communicate conveniently, but spam is destroying this convenience.

1. What does the underlined word"correspondence"in Paragraph 1 probably mean?

A. messages
B. ideas
C. connections
D. programs

2. According to the text, what is the major cause of the flooding spam?

A. Companies rely on email for communications.
B. More people in the world communicate by email.
C. Many computer viruses contain spam emails.
D. More advertisers begin to promote sales through spam.

3. According to Paragraph 3, who is the final victim of spam?

A. The business.
B. The advertiser.
C. The employee.
D. The consumer.

4. What is the purpose of the text?

A. To inform.
B. To educate.
C. To persuade.
D. To instruct.
